Edmund Forschbach

Edmund Wilhelm Mathias Gottfried Forschbach (11 December 1903 – 23 March 1988) was a German lawyer and politician. During the Weimar Republic, he was a member of the German National People's Party (DNVP). During Nazi Germany, he was a member of the ''Reichstag'' and headed the Cartellverband, the umbrella organization for Catholic student fraternities, from 1933 to 1934. He was expelled from the ''Reichstag'' in July 1934 for his association with the conservative opposition to the Nazi regime. During the Second World War, he served in the German armed forces as an enlisted man.

After undergoing denazification in postwar Germany, he headed the Press and Information Office of the West German government from 1955 to 1956. After public revelations of his early support for the Nazi regime, he resigned as the federal press chief and was transferred to less visible government posts. Provided by Wikipedia
